======Reduce Teaching/Training======

Normally, teaching or training a creature requires two months of time. You can accelerate the process of teaching or training a creature, reducing the time required to the listed time, by adding the [[SRD:DC|DC]] modifier to the base [[SRD:DC|DC]] for teaching or training the creature. You can’t reduce the required time to less than 1 minute.
